RASASC launches first Crowdfunding project to support young survivors

To help support young survivors of rape and sexual abuse, RASASC have launched their first Crowdfunder

As we start to come out of the pandemic, there are many challenges to address, one of which is that charity fundraising is now much more challenging. This is also at a time when demand for our services has increased.

We have seen a significant increase (47%) in young survivors of rape and sexual abuse aged 13-25, coming to us for help. To help address this, we have taken the plunge and launched Young Survivors, our first ever Crowdfunding project.

We are aiming to raise £26,880 to ensure we can support an additional 30-35 young survivors of rape and sexual abuse through our counselling, helpline and Independent Sexual Violence Advisor (ISVA) services.

This is where we need your help. Could you help us spread the word, and share our project, or pledge a small donation if you’re able to, to ensure we can support more young survivors of rape and sexual abuse across Surrey?

To find out more about our Young Survivors project or to pledge a donation, simply visit: www.crowdfunder.co.uk/young-survivors - or scan the below QR code - and help us reach more young survivors of rape and sexual abuse across Surrey.

Thank you
